Education Secretary Betsy DeVos was invited to a meeting at Jefferson Middle School Academy Friday morning by the Washington, D.C. teacher’s union. However, when she arrived for the meeting, a handful of protesters took up positions on a narrow stairway and blocked her path . . .
As DeVos turned away from the blocked stairway, a man holding a Black Lives Matter sign ran after her saying, “Keep giving money to Senators and buying your way to the position, you should be so proud of yourself.” DeVos got back in her car as the same man yelled, “Go back!” and then “Shame! Shame! Shame!” As the car tried to pull away, the man ran in front and prevented it from moving. At this point the video cuts off, but the Washington Post reports that DeVos persisted and eventually made it inside for her 10am meeting.How far do the Freedom-haters think they can push this "resistance" business?
Conservatives are generally a well-behaved lot, but their populist step-siblings have somewhat shorter fuses. These demonstrations of poisonous hate may not always be met with dignified forbearance.
Like you said, protesters such as this idiot do not help their cause. That doesn't mean that rational opposition to DeVos is not to be found. Of course you jump at the chance to rub idiots like that in their cause's face. I would too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, every once in a while you get an isolated instance of a lone leftist behaving like a jerk. No big deal.
ReplyDeleteLike you said, none of it helps the left's cause. Your ilk are gonna cram your agenda up our asses with your perceived mandate which, if this rage is channeled into the ballot box in '18, will be soooo short-lived, Hah, SH already told Nettie to cool it with his inflammatory settlements in the disputed territories. I hear Nettie may be out in Israel soon because of a scandal. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteDon't go for pussy hats? Grab a shirt and tie from your closet and go hang out at the Met and see if elegance will let you in then.
ReplyDelete"I think it is a critical moment, and a lot of it goes back to the credit crunch and the economic crisis of 2008, and the feeling of a lot of people that they’ve been left out, that globalization has harmed them, or they’ve not seen an improvement in living standards or reductions in social and economic inequality. I think one of the lessons of 19th-century Europe is that peace and prosperity are best guaranteed by international collaboration. There was an arrangement between different states called the Concert of Europe in the 19th century, and in the post- or late-20th century, it’s the European Union. I think it is a disaster that Britain has chosen to leave the European Union at a time when you have a very unpredictable administration in Washington with no guarantee that it will in any way protect or look after our interests, when America is effectively abdicating its role as leader of the free world."

I fail to see how Netanyahu relates to the subject of this post.
ReplyDeleteDitto the Richard Evans interview.
Well, on further thinking about it, I can see how the Evans interview relates. It's typical of the unhinged Left's reaction to the current political landscape.Not very original either. He's far from the first to draw the infantile Hitler comparison.
